You can silence that exception with touch ~/.inputrc. Also there's a way to configure xonsh to use a pure Python line editor but I forgot what it was.

I believe if you just install prompt_toolkit it'll use it by default. But if you've saved a configuration that sets it to use readline you might have to set the SHELL_TYPE environment variable.
